In this tutorial, you will learn how to add music to your PowerPoint presentation. Adding music is a fantastic way to breathe life into any presentation. Powerpoint lets us achieve this very easily. After to your PowerPoint presentation, you can let the inserted audio span across all your slides in your presentation by selecting the option. This is done when you need the same music playing through all your slides. But what if you want the music to play only across some successive slides? What if you want the music to play from slide 1 to 12, and let all slides thereafter play without any music? Or you may want to add another audio clip for the next set of slides? Either way, it is possible to limit the number of slides that your music will play across. Remember: As far as possible, work with a presentation that has been saved at least once. Follow these steps to stop your music after specific number of slides in PowerPoint 2011: • We assume you have already added a music clip and set it to. In that case, proceed straightaway to Step 4 of this tutorial. If not, first on the slide from which you want the music to start playing. • Now, select the music icon so that you can see the contextual Format Audio tab (highlighted in red within Figure 1) in the -- click this tab to activate it, as shown in Figure 1.

Locate the After radio button that may show a value of 999 slides, (highlighted in blue, within Figure 6). Figure 6: Do you want the music to span 999 slides? Tip: Why does the After option shows 999 slides? That's because 999 is the largest number that PowerPoint can accept for spanning audio clips across slides, and Play Across Slides option that we chose earlier (see Figure 2, shown earlier on this page) caused the After option to populate with the number, 999. • Now, change the value from 999 to the number of slides after which you want the music to stop. For example, you may want the audio clip to only play for 12 consecutive slides -- in that case, replace 999 with 12. After to your PowerPoint presentation, you can let the inserted audio span across all your slides in your presentation by selecting the option. This is done when you need the same music playing through all your slides. But what if you want the music to play only across some successive slides? What if you want the music to play from slide 1 to 12, and let all slides thereafter play without any music? Or you may want to add another audio clip for the next set of slides? Either way, it is possible to limit the number of slides that your music will play across.
